2 patches and still no overwhelming critical fix

[Cetus]

I've submitted bug reports, cried on the forums with these threads and still NOTHING to fix this feat.

Thanks turbine for completely ignoring this issue.

[Ovrad]

Same for Vorpal strikes, or improved Sneak attack...

[N1ko]

OR


Maybe they are working on the issue and it is more complicated than just a simple fix....?

[Schwarzie]

what i find shocking is, that its still not even in the known issues list... THE Premier new melee epic feat and no function. Thats just embarassing.

[In_Like_Flynn]

I would bet that bugs are stack ranked for severity, and that this one hasn't yet climbed to the top.

This is pretty simplistic, of course. It doesn't take into account Capacity, Analysis or Expertise. Still, only so much can be done, and unless Turbine uses the Ouija development model, your fix is likely still climbing the list.

OWC isn't as hot as Adrenyline and ... I'll check back with you and see if it's still borked.

I find it more disturbing that not only was it not fixed, but I haven't seen a single dev comment on the fact that it is broken. I could just be missing a thread where one of them acknowledged it but it makes me feel that the devs aren't even fully aware of it, or purposely avoiding the topic, even a quick: "it is known and we are working on it" would make me feel much better on the subject

Adrenaline is a a melee epic destiny ability not an epic feat, and the person specified feat. On top of that, anyone with the required feats can get overwhelming critical (that will probably be most or all fighters once they LR or TR due to an abundance of feats and most THF Barbs as they need cleave anyway and THF line can be sacrificed for the other 2 required feats. I also have a thief acrobat that I fitted it on). On the other hand only those with Fury of the Wild will have adrenaline since it is a innate ability. Which means that once OWC works again it will probably be something more epic chars have then adrenaline. So adrenaline really isn't as hot as OWC will be when it is fixed.

Thoguh I didn't know adrenaline was borked as well, if so that also needed to be fixed ASAP. Both really should have been functional before U14, and if broken by a patch immediately fixed, they are that big a deal to the melee population

Really? It worked on lamannia and its been over a month now since the release. Its not in the known issues list, and I haven't seen any dev post regarding it.

Adrenaline? How'd you even get that statement written in a thread about a FEAT.

Adrenaline is a destiny perk. This thread concerns the FEAT.

destiny =/= feat.

Afraid Overwhelming Critical IS broken. I have definitive proof.

I've been meaning to test this for a while now and I finally got around to doing it. This is on live U14.2 with no ED-related stuff (using lvl 1 Grandmaster), no rages, no frenzies, no crit multipliers of any kind except for my default feats. Using Epic Sword of Shadow, Blasting Chime, and DT with Destruction rune to score crits on the planar portal.

Ignore the 0:00 timers on the hotbar, it's a known bug. I'm not actually raged.

First screenshot is crit on a roll of 17 as it says in the combat log.



Second screenshot is a crit on a roll of 20. It got cut off in the combat log, but you can see Manslayer proccing and Manslayer ONLY procs on a 20.



Difference is only 3 points of damage? Obviously it should be 100 or more. Feat is broken.

There is so much stuff broken with this current update right now that OWC is just another face in the proverbial crowd. Don't take it personally man.


I highly doubt it is spite that is keeping developers from responding here.
They are probably working on fixes or throwing liquor-infused office parties instead of perusing the forums.

[Xynot2]

In the screenie... I noticed your rage icons are on the right not the left. How were you able to move them there?

I can see that, except when the devs take the time to destroy challenge xp or reinstate the 24 point cap in a destiny line (obviously, because they would have benefitted us otherwise), but don't fix our investment into an epic feat. Then its irritating.

With the failure to mention it, I'm sure the developers have not implemented OWC with reason, in fact as Cetuss said it was in Beta so Im sure its not a bug. I think the are taking it slow so they are not overwhelmed with too many game breaking situations at once. I'm Sure its the same with Yellow Dopant.. It was in Beta and has not made it in game yet, or in the DDO store. Imagine if Green Steel Deconstruction was borked and DDO had to service the thousands of accounts that lost green steel in the first day?

Bottom line for me is, I'm a Consumer and Turbine has sold me a really poor product with this update. Yea Im having fun, but this would not be tolerated in any other industry. I really don't think the standard "this is how all MMO's work" and "No release makes it with out some bugs" fall backs I seem to hear the Developers regurgitate cuts it.

I don't think this game is tested properly or we would have more finished product, and would be spending less of our time posting threads like this, and spend more time in game playing.

FIX MY GAME, OR PAY ME FOR TESTING IT FOR YOU. DONT INTRODUCE MECHANICS THAT YOU ARE NOT READY TO HAVE IN GAME YET.

Push Esc -> Options -> UI Settings.

Scroll down to below the first set of rainbow colors.

Look for the line Justify Effect Icons to Screen Left and uncheck it (checked by default). It should be the 8th up the list from the second set of rainbow colors.

Dev response please, is this being looked at? ETA for a fix??

[RobbinB]

It's actually a simple bug fix. The feat was misnamed and should have been called "underwhelming critical". It actually does nothing and is wai.

Nope, they're spending their time nerfing things rather than making things we would like to have work properly, work properly. This particular one irks me a lot. I play pretty much nothing but melee and have two toons that would benefit from this working. Be nice to have vorpal fists work properly too since I respecced my monk just to take it. But they won't address these till they have thoroughly nerfed everything that is working properly and bringing us enjoyment.

[Noopleh]

Or maybe fix healing amp on WF? Much more important then that feat IMO.
